That is not a bad thing, I personally find that a lot of times if things look too professional the surfer thinks big coroporation..and are less likely to click. So that is good. Your number one priority though should be to work on your thumb quality. Didn't check out what you did, but don't just put the size you want the pic in your html and have it size it down...actually make a thumb. There is a program called Thumbs Plus that does a decent job of making thumbs. If you don't have that, you can can just do the thumbs by hand in anything from Photoshop to paint. Just crop it to the size you want it...88 x88 90 x 120 etc.
Quality of thumbs is extremely important. If they aren't good..people take one look and leave..they dont click on the pics to make them full size and chances are they aren't going to be clicking on any banners either.

If you have any other questions just hit me up on ICQ in the evenings and I'll try to answer your questions.
thanks!
I did run my pics through the web album feature of photoshop to make thumbs...my html editor adds in the dimensions automatically. Usually it works fine, but the thumbs for the foot site did come out rough, I admit. It's hard to fix something though when you don't know where you went wrong, lol.
